so, it signifies that to make something pass you fill it with something else. In this case, finding another love to forget one you loved. It does work! lol. Also , it is a by far a positive statement as opposed to the negative statement you were thinking - venezolana Jun 16, 2011flag

You are all wrong on what it means "un clavo saca a otro clavo". In Spanish Clavo is usually used as slang for problem or trouble. The saying it's most commonly used as "no saques un clavo con otro clavo" For example someone is paying one credit card with another credit card. This person is not really getting out of debt, so the clavo remains and sometimes can be worse in the long run. So in the case of love clavo means that the person considers she or he was in love with was trouble and her getting involved with another person still being in love with the previous one is just another clavo (rebound). So its not really going to work just more trouble. Hope this helps!
